About Us: Tempe - Your Digital Window to the Heart of Tempe
Our Story
Tempe was born out of a vision to create a digital hub that captures the essence of the vibrant city of Tempe, Arizona. Founded in 2017, our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to become the go-to online resource for all things Tempe. We recognized a gap in the digital landscape—a lack of comprehensive, up-to-date, and unbiased information specifically tailored to this bustling metropolis.
Since its inception, Tempe has evolved into a dynamic news website dedicated to keeping residents and visitors informed, engaged, and connected. Our mission is to tell the story of Tempe, one article at a time, by shedding light on its unique culture, diverse communities, and ever-changing landscape.

Filling the Information Gap
The internet is a vast resource, but when it comes to local news, Tempe was underserved. Many national news outlets lacked the depth and focus required to capture the nuanced stories that make a city unique. We recognized this opportunity to fill the gap with content that reflects the diverse neighborhoods, rich history, and ever-evolving culture of Tempe.
